      Think I've only ever worked out a maximum of three Rockbusters on these shows. One of them was Mister Mister. Can't remember what the others were.

    I think this was the peak of Karl's savagery. He is just on fire throughout the broadcast.

    I was kind of disappointed when ricky came up with a basic jingle, I was hoping for something more like "OooOooh, whats he made up now?! THOUGHT OF THE DAY!"
